I heard that these will be a single unit but will be able to take on whole units themselves. I am interested to find out any more about the usage of this unit, if it does all it is rumoured to do, I will be using many of them but I don't really see how one unit will survive long enough to be worth using. If, presumably, the one-on-one battle calculations will still apply it means there is still a very slim chance of the Kensai being killed by an ashigaru or by an arrow. How will they be trained, also? I assume that the Kensai is already at a very high honour level and so it can neither gain nor lose honour. Btw, does anyone have any idea how much the Kensai, or any other new unit for that matter, is likely to cost. Surely the Kensai becomes skilled by practice and by killing many men which does not cost a huge amount of money to do.
